BOARD OF COMMERCE HIKE (Brussels Post) The second annual automobile hike of Listowel Chamber of Commerce was held Wednesday of this week and 8 a marked success. London was the pivotal pdint this year. Fifty-five well loaded cars left Listowel at 7 0 a.m., carrying 250 citizens, in which was included the fine town Bani under Bandmaster Dempsey. First stop was at Brussels, where # street banner proclaimed Welcome and the visitors were greeted by a large number of business people and citizens generally as the imposing, tooting procession lined up on Turn- berry street. After a selection by the band, Reeve Baeker gave a short ad- ress of welcome, referring tc the 1,] neighborly kindness shown to Brus- sels and wishing the Board of Com- merce and citizens generally the best of success. Rev. T. B. Howard, Ang- lican rector, made an appropriate re- ply. Cheers were given to the hikers and responded to by cheers for Bru- sels and the company moved off for Seaforth. M. R. Hay is the live pres- ident of the Board of Commerce and Editor Hudson secretary. ‘Listowel has set a good example worthy of emulation. THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT The Stratford Beacon-Herald said editorially. “The Listowel Chamber of Com- merce is to be highly congratulated on the success of the recent motor “hike.” It was a most successful effort in every way and reflects great credit on the organization. It also speaks volume for the esprit de corps of the citizens of Listowel when u wards of 250 of them willingly join- | ed in to promote a community effort | of this kind. If only for the example alone the! for it gave an idea of done when the citizens of by such co-operative efforts can an thing worthw be accomplished and it is to be hoped that the stim- anization of our northern will not be lost. An example has ‘been other places, not necessarily by hold- ing similar trips, though that is.good jin itself, but by undertaking other community enterprises. Listowel has shown what can be done when every- oue works together and it is an in- spiring example to set before other municipalities, an example which can wed) be taken to heart and emulated! as far as possible.

The same type of disturber had stirred up a certain amount of ill feeli between the residents of the fa and cities. Mr. Bilis, was of th opinion that ths people of Canada did not apprec- ate fully the absence of ey on this continent. He t that the people did not know their neletibora well enough and hikes as promoted by the Listowel Body would do’ much to foster a more neighborly spirit. The heart of a Canadian,- although there may be local differences, was the same throughout the Dominion, he remarked. Mervin Hay, In a very short speech thanked the ladies of the church for the repast they had prepared and suggested that as a fitting close they. sing “Good Night Ladies.” This was done and the ladies re- sponded by singing ‘For They are Jolly Good Fellows.’ On leaving the avd h the Listowel town band favored Stratford citizens with two fine selections. After some trouble the long line of cars was again straightened out and proceeded to Sebringville. In that village and in Mitchell they were cordially received, the music of the band making their presence known in each town. Atwood was the last stop the party made before reaching but apparently through various dg@- home lays en route this information W not accurate,” said Mr. Fisher. “We | were first informed that the party would arrive at 5.45 in the afternoon, at which time a few of the members were around. Later we got word that the party would not arrive until 6.45 when the-members who were around had departed to fill other engage- ment “I — indeed sorry that things turned out the way they did,”’ said Mr. Fisher, ‘and I hope that the citizens of Listowel do not look upon the incident as an act of discourtesy on the part of Stratford.”’ JOLLY VISITORS ENTERTAINED ndon Advertiser) The town of Listowel probably re- ceived more advertising yesterday than for many months The name of Listowel and the Listowel Chamber of Commerce cut a lustrous pathway over county road of Perth, Huron and Middlesex coun- ties.
